Saving White Beach: The Philippines

Boracay, a small island in the Philippines, is experiencing a boom in tourism thanks to the reputation of its White Beach as one of the most beautiful seashores in all of Asia. However, its growing popularity has been accompanied by a major problem: The natural coral that is a key to maintaining the white sands is being rapidly diminished by factors such as the resulting pollution. We follow a group of scientists and residents literally fighting the tide for the sake of Boracay's natural environment.
